Interesting idea but until I get my grubby little fingers in it, to try it - difficult to have an opinion.

I am hopefully expectant that we will see all sorts of optimizations in the next few years that will enable even more local model use and slash commercial API costs. I get excited by the results when I enjoy one or two short coding sessions a week with Claude Opus but it is even more exciting to get a major task done and see that I only used $0.05 for DeepSeek v4 Flash or perhaps $0.15 for DeepSeek v4 Pro. It was exciting in even a different way when I two shotted a complete TypeScript/Tauri app using gemma-12b-qat with little-coder on a cheap laptop a few days ago.
